The Definition of "Bae". in The Napkin.

I’ve been seeing this word for a bit, and I’ve had some context clues about what it meant. Still, I’m generally out of the loop, so I decided to check urbandictionary. First result:

“Bæ/bae is a Danish word for poop. Also used by people on the internet who think it means baby, sweetie etc. “

Oh, is this how people call each other “bitch” and “slut” affectionately? Now we’re calling each other poop affectionately? “You’re my floater.”

Now I just need to figure out how to pronounce it. Bay-e? Bah-e? Baah-A? Me no English understand.

I think people think it means 'before anything else'. It's pronounced Bay.

Ugh, bae. I've always thought it was "bah-eh" - not that such asinine internet slang would ever come out my word-hole.

If I had a lawn, I'd tell these kids to get off it.

Yeah, it's pronounced 'bay' and i know BAE is supposed to be like an acrostic of 'Before Anyone/Anything Else' but I'm pretty sure it's just a corruption of babe/baby. I really don't think it's like HAM, as in, going HAM, which is just an acrostic of Hard As a Motherfucker. To me,, it fits more with all the shortening of words, cray (crazy), ridic (ridiculous) etc. the pronunciation of whats up - sup, brother - bruh and even dude, it's usually just du'. It's been a while since I've heard anyone hit that hard D at the end.

I honestly didn't know most of this.

The poop part of the definition kills me. I really don't think anyone realizes that it means poop in another language. Reminds of when I was in school (soooooooo loooooooooooong agooooooooooo): everyone was like, "Did you know 'dude' is an ingrown hair on an elephant's butt?" Turns out that was a myth, but everyone believed it... And yet still used it.
